I was wondering if you guys use anything to get the burrs out of your wool? Or do you just pick them out? I have the columbia wool bibs and pants and love them but I dont like getting burrs in my clothes, any help would be appreciated thanks brad

I have the same problem. What I do is waite till the end of the season, then PIC them off. It use to bug me about burs, its just the name of the game.

Try a pet comb (steel), or horse brush.

Butter knife and the kitchen counter. Hap

2 butter knives and a 6 and 9 year old. works great for me.

Come to the house and put clean sheets on the bed, then lay in the bed and roll . You won't have to worry about burrs again  

She will assure that you don't have wool to get burrs in  

I use this and pic out what that doesn't get.
  Bur Off

Im a picker. Duct tape rolled on my hand backwards first and press all over to remove the loose ones, but doesn't do all that great. Pick a bad day out, watch a good movie and pick away.

What Stone Knife said.

On the burr off stone, does it really work better than a butter knife? I have seen this in their catalog but wondered if it was worth a $15 gamble. Butter knife has long been paid for.

A good football game helps!    

Butter knife and then a very loving and understanding wife. The 2 oldest grandkids want 25 cents a burr.

I just pick by hand while sitting in my stand. Helps kill time.

Me too...just pick them out while on stand.  Of course, then I'm always cussing why I have so many burrs growing around my stand!   Blame it on the cows.

I use a curry comb(horse brush that looks like circles of steel). I use it on my fleece. The fastest thing I have seen. They may not work on real tiny burrs. Gary

Man I'd pick'um out for 25 cents a bur, sounds like good money! HA! Jason

Oh! I use a small beater bar for my shop vac..(you know the kind thats cliped to the back of the vaccums) works like a charm!! Jason

When I was a young teacher--and fleece was the rage--I used to take my burred-up duds to school and give kids with detention an option:  30 minutes of detention or 10 minutes of burr-picking.  Most picked the latter (not pun intended)!  This was middle school; not sure it would entice today's high schoolers.

the curry style comb used for cats is my choice.  Works great
